In the Late Roman and the Early Migration Periods, i.e. the 4th and the early 5th centuries AD, in the Polish Western Carpathians, especially in the Sącz Basin, the adjacent Sącz Beskid Mts and Wyspowy Beskid Mts as well as in the Krosno-Jasło Basin, a significant intensification of settlement is observed. The area has been investigated through archaeological surface surveys and excavations; in the Sącz region, five sites have been excavated with the results published to date. This text presents the results of test excavation at yet another site, Podegrodzie 7, Nowy Sącz district. In the feature investigated there a rare jug ornamented with glossed triangles, several storage vessels of the Krausengefäße type, as well as some organic remains were discovered. Palaeobotanical analysis has shown that common barley (Hordeum vulgare) was the predominant species cultivated by the inhabitants of this territory. The radiocarbon date obtained from a charcoal sample corresponds to the chronology of the site determined by the ceramics typology. The results of the excavation at Podegrodzie 7 site are complemented with a map presenting the location of settlement in that area in the Late Roman and the Early Migration Periods.

Die kulturelle Situation zur römischen Kaiserzeit im Gebiet des oberen San. Einführung in die Konferenz: „Movement and stabilization. Przeworsk culture in the Upper Tisa River basin in the Roman Period”

Renata Madyda-Legutko

Archaeological finds document Przeworsk culture peoples' migration towards the southeast in phases B2 of early Roman Period and C1a of younger Roman Period. Finds of graves, mostly with grave goods typical of male burials are known from this period in the territories of eastern Slovakia, Transcarpathian Ukraine, north-east Hungary, and north-west Romania.

We can correlate this migration with the historically documented expansion of Vandals in the direction of Dacia. Chair of Iron Age Archaeology of Institute of Archaeology of Jagiellonian University has led a series of excavations on the sites in the region of Sanok, both on the settlements (Pakoszówka, site 1, site 26, Sanok 54) and cemeteries (Prusiek, site 25, Pakoszówka, site 33). The concentration of settlements from the Roman period in the region of Sanok can be treated as a link etween the sites of Przeworsk culture in the San River middle catchment basin and from the Tisa River catchment basin. The presence of Przeworsk culture in the Carpathian Basin in the younger and late Roman Period is not evident. We can, therefore, conclude, that they have assimilated – after a phase of migration, they have entered a phase of stability.
